Description

The Vatican's Cunning Strategy

For nearly five hundred years, since King Henry VIII's severance of English servitude to the Pope, the Vatican, with its Counter-Reformation has sought unremittingly to undermine the religious and political influence of the Church of England and its Supreme Governor, the reigning monarch of the UK. The planned Papal visit to the UK of September 2010 is in keeping with this centuries long Vatican policy; and is expected to provide a major step forward. By choosing to elevate John Henry Newman towards 'Sainthood' with a thoroughly Roman Catholic ecclesiastical event in England in September, Pope Benedict is seeking to demonstrate to the world that the Church in England is being brought back to its pre-Reformation status of submission to the Church of Rome. This should come as no surprise, for the Papacy has never withdrawn its claim of divine jurisdiction to judge or to correct those who lead nations.

With the EU Constitutional Treaty of Lisbon so recently brought into force, the de facto re-emergence of the Papacy as a political power is making its impact on the world stage. With its reliable fifth column within the member nations of the EU, and its commanding influence over their social policy, the Church of Rome is considerably closer to her long-term objective of re-establishing the Holy Roman Empire. On March 16th 2010, less than four months after Lisbon's enactment, the British Government announced that, "At the invitation of Her Majesty The Queen, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI will pay a Papal Visit to the United Kingdom from the 16th-19th September 2010." This invitation for the first ever official State visit of a Pope to the United Kingdom sadly represents the abandoning of the safeguards, wisely built into our Protestant constitution by our forefathers. It also marks a departure by the Queen from her solemn Accession oath, sworn before nation and Commonwealth, at her Coronation on June 2nd 1953: "I, Elizabeth do solemnly and sincerely in the presence of God profess, testify and declare that I am a faithful Protestant." This apparent abandoning of our Reformation heritage and Protestant Constitution makes it all the more imperative that individual Christian leaders, especially those of the Church of England, remember their martyrs who died for the truth as revealed in God's Word.. The majority of the English martyrs of the Protestant faith chose to die because they denied the unbiblical doctrine of 'the real presence' of Christ in the Mass, the burning issue of the Reformation.

Newman's beatification during the State visit is particularly important to Pope Benedict because of Newman's rejection of the Biblical faith of the martyrs as he became an enthusiastic believer in the real presence and the divine power of the Eucharistic Sacrifice. Before the world stage the Pope is about to attempt bring the UK back under Papal edicts. Are we ready to, "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" and expose the teachings of Newman and the Pontiff and others who during the visit are intent on perverting the true faith with the errors of Rome?
